Top Reasons Charlie Sheen Was Fired

Executives told The New York Times they were on board for paying Sheen syndication sales for all “Men” episodes he starred in over the past eight years. But the suits reportedly balked at Sheen’s demand to be compensated for future episodes starring his replacement, Ashton Kutcher.

A record 27.8 million tuned in for Kutcher’s debut last week, while Sheen’s Comedy Central appearance the same night scored 6.4 million viewers and notched a ratings record for one of the network’s roasts, according to Access Hollywood.

Sheen was fired back in March after criticizing “Men” creator Chuck Lorre and studio executives for halting production so he could deal with addiction issues.

He went on stage a media blitz and tour the country – all devoted to delivering fusillades of insults for his former colleagues and using phrases like “tiger blood” and “Adonis DNA” to talk up himself.

"I think it's important that people see that I see and I feel that that was just one crazy chapter, one weird phase, and that I was this guy before it started and I can be that guy again afterwards, you know," Sheen told “Today’s” Matt Lauer earlier this month.
